The Lost Curse by T. Lynn Adams

Easing his pace, Jonathon advanced only inches at a time. Instinct heightened beneath unseen eyes, and he knew he moved in the presence of a creature that could kill him. As he progressed forward, his light caught a presence to his left…a human presence.

Jonathon has had more than enough adventure for one lifetime. That’s why he’s planning to spend this summer camping in quiet central Utah with his Peruvian friend, Severino. But when the two of them accidentally discover an ancient artifact, they wind up in more danger than ever!

Now Jonathon, Severino, and their new friend, Tallie, will have to choose between protecting a secret that’s been hidden for centuries and saving their own lives!
